Zhao Huan could not wait to rush back to his inner house now and make up for the ten years of debt he owed to Zhu Lian in full.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to operate technically in broad daylight.
If Zhao Huan dared to advance, Zhu Lian, who always abided by rules and etiquette, would have to castrate Zhao Huan.
At this moment, Zhu Peng ran over.
"Uncle, Zhumen Bank is about to open for business soon. You really don't want to go and take a look?"
"Although Changfu is your confidant, he is still a servant. He alone can't support the situation."
Zhao Huan was not interested, his mind was full of Zhu Lian, and he replied absently: "If you can't support it, don't support it. The Zhumen Bank is just a money laundering facility used by the palace... ahem... it's just a transfer station."
"It's not a bad thing to be low-key."
"Besides, the old donkeys in the Ministry of Rites, especially Zhou Pu, would like to sleep directly next to me and keep a close eye on me all the time."
"It is difficult for me and the princess to come forward in any business matters."
Although almost everyone among the dignitaries in Bianjing has property, no one would foolishly come to the stage.
All business is left to the family's cronies, either the housekeeper or the clan members. In short, you cannot personally intervene, you can just sit back and distribute the dividends.
Zhu Lian is the owner of Zhumen Bank, and Guan Changfu is the shopkeeper of Zhumen Bank.
Seeing that Zhao Huan refused to attend the speech, Zhu Peng stopped insisting, but still muttered.
"Zhumen Bank has deposited more than 80,000 taels of silver. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as one of the best banks in Bianjing."
"Now that it is officially opened, there is no movement at all. I don't know how outsiders will view this matter."
Zhao Huan, who had been absent-minded just now, sat upright when he heard this.
"Eighty thousand taels of silver? Who saved it? It's definitely not me. I don't have that much money in my entire family."
Although Zhao Huan made a lot of money by selling paintings and copying Gao Qiu's background, since arriving in Yizhou, Zhao Huan finally understood a wise saying: "Making money is like eating shit, spending money is like diarrhea."
In order to run Yizhou, tens of thousands of dollars were spent, and even gold and silver could not withstand such consumption.
In addition to the 10,000 taels of silver that Zhao Huan gave to Zhu Lian at the birthday party, plus Zhu Lian's own small treasury, a total of 40,000 taels of silver were deposited there.
So where did the other 40,000 taels of silver come from?
Could it be that Yin Zi has given birth to a baby?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Seeing that Zhao Huan knew nothing about Zhumen Bank, Zhu Peng simply pointed at Chen Zhao.
"My lord, you'd better ask him directly."
Seeing Chen Zhao's evil smile, Zhao Huan could not help but frown: "What's going on? You still haven't told me honestly!"
Chen Zhao scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Every bank has a big shot behind it as a guarantee. The stronger the background and the stronger the strength, the more secure we depositors will naturally be."
"Looking at the banks in Bianjing, apart from the banks controlled by Cai clique's gang members, the one with the strongest background is naturally the Zhumen bank."
"Of course my subordinates won't have anything to do with the Cai family, so it's natural for me to deposit the money in the Zhumen Bank."
It turned out that this was what happened, Zhao Huan suddenly realized, but his eyes suddenly sharpened.
"You kid, where did you get so much money?"
Forty thousand taels of silver is not a small sum.
Although Chen Zhao often enriched his own pockets, he did so under the acquiescence of Zhao Huan. It was more of a reward than an enrichment of his own pockets.
According to Zhao Huan's initial estimate, it would be good if Chen Zhao could come up with three thousand taels of silver.
Now suddenly a man of 40,000 yuan appears. Who knows how much money this kid secretly cheated Zhao Huan!
Feeling the killing intent emanating from Zhao Huan's eyes, Chen Zhao was startled and quickly defended himself.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if you lend your subordinates a hundred courages, they won't dare to make money wantonly, let alone put their hands into the Prince's pocket."
"My subordinates only deposited 10,000 taels of silver into it, and more than half of it is the property of our entire Chen family."
"My subordinates' money only accounts for a very small part."
After hearing this, Zhao Huan's eyes softened.
If these 40,000 taels of silver belong to Chen Zhao, then Zhao Huan really has to think carefully about whether to kill the donkey in advance.
Chen Zhao kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, trembling secretly in his heart.
"Your Majesty has not yet ascended the throne, but he has already shown a majesty that is no less than that of His Majesty..."
"If you really inherit the throne in the future, will the Chen family be waiting for a prosperous career, or will it be a settlement of scores?"
He realized that Zhao Huan was good at using cunning people, but he would never trust them gullibly.
Chen Zhao immediately made up his mind that he must be more disciplined in the future. Whether he gained power or not was not important, what was important was the future of the entire Chen family.
Zhao Huan ignored Chen Zhao and asked in a deep voice: "Where did the other thirty thousand taels of silver come from?"
Wang Daquan on the side quickly explained: "My subordinates deposited three thousand taels of silver, and I don't know the rest."
When Zhu Peng saw that the fire was almost done, he hurriedly came to Zhao Huan and showed his enthusiasm.
"Uncle, you have to ask me about this in the end."
"Hey, I'm helping Zhumen Bank open the whole process, from the beginning to the end."
"The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy alone have deposited at least ten thousand taels of silver."
"The rest are the other courtiers and wealthy businessmen."
Zhao Huan frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.
"Zhumen Bank is so low-key, how can it attract so many people to deposit money there?"
"Even the Imperial Academy and court officials came."
Zhu Peng grinned and looked at Zhao Huan with admiration in his eyes. In order to squeeze out Chen Zhao and Wang Daquan, Zhu Peng was very happy and talked non-stop. Those who didn't know it thought he was Zhao Huan's confidant.
"Don't look at those courtiers. On the surface, they obey Cai Xi's words, but in fact they have their own plans in mind."
"Of course you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Putting your money with the prince is equivalent to putting it in the royal bank. Is there any bank in the world that is safer than the Zhumen Bank?"
"As for the wealthy businessmen, they are more adaptable to the wind. Wherever they save their money, it will naturally exist."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help but start sucking his molar teeth.
His original intention of establishing Zhumen Bank was purely to serve himself and help Zhu Lian "manage money".
As a result, it accidentally turned into a public service.
Zhao Huan would not do anything that was wasted.
He immediately said angrily: "I help them look after their money, and I want to give them extra interest at the end of the year. Why?"
"Go tell Changfu that from now on, any money deposited in Zhumen Bank will be charged a management fee of one thousandth."
"Moreover, if you want to deposit money in Zhumen Bank, you must first pass the review."
"Anyone with insufficient qualifications or dirty background will be exempted from the interview."
"And all dirty money resulting from corruption and bribery will be confiscated!"
